first spell [video]
[The camera opens on two people, sitting shoulder to shoulder and addressing the camera head-on. Or, well... one elf and a skeleton. Taako’s face is wide in a grin, seemingly intent on emoting well enough for the two of them, and they simultaneously move to flip some hair from their faces- or well, Lup would, if she had any. The motion is still recognizable enough as they address the network.]
Helloooo, Hadriel!
[For those who remember Stepford, it might be very reminiscent of their tv show, Lup’s voice coming through loud and clear to make herself a little more recognizable.]
You’re on with the twins, and today, we have a suuuuper important thing we need you to settle.
Bee-tee-dubs, we wouldn’t even need to bother with this if my dear brother could get over himself.
[Taako gives her a look, before re-addressing the camera.] Anyway, so there’s like, transmutation magic, which is awesome and rad, and then there’s evocation, which just like, does elemental stuff or whatever, and is super lame. So if you were gonna pick one--
Yeah, no. [And Lup raises a hand to prove her point, summoning fire instantly to her skeletal palm.] Deffo cooler than anything that comes out of his specialization. Trust me, fam.
[Without even a response, a translucent, spectral hand appears behind Taako, and moving in tandem with his hand, floats into the frame and smacks Lup upside the head before disappearing.]
I can literally turn into anything I want, whenever I want. I can fly, my dude. I could be a shark.
Holy shit, Taako. Give up the shark thing. No one cares about sharks! I’m not trying to crush your game or anything, but pick a better animal.
It’s a fucking shark! What is there not to-- no, you know what, stand back, this is gonna be amazing. [He is, in fact, backing up to give himself some space with the intent to actually do it, tossing his pointy wizard hat to the side in preparation.]
And there he goes again. [Lup could not possibly sound less excited if she tried.]
Check. It. Out. [Taako winks towards the camera, hands on his hips, and then extends his arms, starting to emanate a strange sort of glow. But just before their audience can catch sight of what supremely awesome magic Taako is about to throw down, the camera shifts, pulled to a close up on Lup’s skeletal face. She tilts her head, as if smiling, effectively blocking Taako’s transformation from being seen.]
Y'know, I don’t think I’ve ever looked so good.
[Behind her, a loud and rather angry roar can be heard, that still kind of sounds a little like Taako. The voice that follows is much rougher than his normal tone, because it’s hard to make animal vocal chords try and speak, okay.]
LUP WHAT THE FUCK--
[It’s accompanied by what sounds like some thrashing, and then absolutely the sound of something in their room shattering to the floor. Lup somehow manages to ignore the chaos behind her completely, throwing up a skeletal peace sign before the connection cuts.]
[ooc: Taako is blue, Lup is red, both of them are purple! Specify if you want one or the other because the default is both with a three-way thread!]

Evocation isn't all firepower, nerds, even if that's the best part. It's power over all of the elements. Try swimming as a shark in a fucking lightning storm, dingus.
no subject
You can call lightning when there aren't any clouds here?
no subject
[Though wizards do get Call Lightning. He honestly hasn't looked much into it.]
But yeah, it's so much more versatile. Besides, it also means I have gold, uh, just whenever the hell I want it. Which is also super nice.
no subject
[ He vaguely remembers stories about that kind of thing, in the history of his own world. ]

Yeah, if I was a nerd. Transmutation is more than metals, my dude. We're talkin' anything into anything.

It's powered on nerd-dom. Just tiny nerds running on hamster wheels.
no subject
You fuel it with potential energy. Like physics, but in magical properties. You take what anything, uh, could be, and use that to make it into what you want. Besides, most transmutation magic is temporary. Makin' it permanent is harder biz.
no subject
Okay... sounds like most of the time temporary is fine, though?
no subject
[she's just yelling into the void. ignore her.]
no subject
[Aaanyway back to the question at hand.]
Yeah, temporary's ideal. The more you change the world purposefully, the harder it gets for, uh, the rest of the planet to reconcile that. So you just fudge it a little the direction you want long enough for you to do whatever you wanna. 'Ss cool. Permanent means consequences and ol' Taako is not about that life.
